Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate CAS 157652-26-1 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (CAS 157652-26-1), molecular formula C10H8BrF3O2 and molecular weight 297.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (C10H8BrF3O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
